Mess the code up. Make changes to it. Alternate between writing code, often reading code, and occasionally reading books. The act of having to mod the code and debug those modifications will lead you through many documents. But the documents on their own shouldn't usu. be your guide. A note on reading books. A book or two can be useful for learning a language. But beyond that books about specific language have quickly diminishing returns. Instead read books about high order concepts (e.g. software engineering, algorithms, problem domain specifics). Michael -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
